How to get FFL in Wyoming (WY)?

Do you want to know how to get your Wyoming FFL? Are you overwhelmed by the heavy handed Federal regulations and confusing laws and rules about being an FFL in Wyoming? Don’t worry, you aren’t alone!

Wyoming is a wonderful place to be an FFL! Gun ownership is deeply ingrained into the local culture and there are some world class hunting opportunities to be had. Despite a relatively small population, guns are in constant demand in Wyoming, and there are a lot of wide open places to shoot them too.

Wyoming FFL’s wanting to sell NFA items are in luck too. If it can be registered with the ATF, you can own it in Wyoming. There is a steady market for silencers for hunting, which are the single most popular NFA item right now.

Ready to get your Wyoming FFL? Great! Let’s look at the simple steps you need to get it.

Federal Requirements

The ATF has pretty basic requirements to  get an FFL. So basic in fact, we’ll only glance at them, because the real problem lies with Wyoming licenses and rules.

To get an FFL, the ATF requires that you basically be a law abiding US citizen or permanent resident over 21 years of age who can legally own a firearm. Pretty simple stuff really. The paperwork is annoying, and you have to demonstrate you are planning to operate a business, but that’s not too hard.

What is hard for would-be Wyoming FFL holders is that the ATF also requires that you have all appropriate state and local licenses before you can be in business. And that is where the “fun” starts…

State Requirements

Wyoming makes it very easy to get an FFL, because there are no state specific firearms licenses. While some states require a redundant sort of “state issued FFL” Wyoming only requires you to get regular business licenses.

While there are no state level gun dealer licenses, you must still be successfully licensed with the state and the local area you are doing business in. You also have to operate in a correctly zoned area that matches the type of business you are doing.

1. First you need to get a state business license. This is a pretty cut and dried process and even largely automatic as long as you pay the licensing fees. Now is a good time to decide if you are setting up as a corporation or not. We suggest doing business as an LLC or other corporation to limit personal liability.
2. Get your local business licenses. Cities and counties may also require a business license. Again, this should be pretty cut and dried.
3. Make sure you are properly zoned for the kind of business you plan on doing. In most places, a home based FFL should be possible. 07 FFL’s that engage in more than the lightest of manufacturing probably won’t be possible in residential areas.
4. You have to have a valid FFL, as well as valid state and local business licenses.

Local Requirements

Wyoming has a lot of small towns and rural areas with less restrictive zoning regulations than developed population centers. That means if you want to get a home based FFL in Wyoming, it should be pretty easy.

As you can see, you cannot get your Wyoming FFL until you are licensed to do business at the location you choose. Both the ATF and the State of Wyoming require that you be properly licensed locally before you can do business.

It is impossible to describe all the possible local problems getting a business license in Wyoming for your FFL. Typically your biggest issue will be zoning. If you are in town that’s usually pretty cut and dried. If you are trying to set up a home based FFL, you need to make sure that you can get a zoning variance for the kind of business you are trying to operate.

To get your Wyoming FFL, you’ll likely mostly have to satisfy the ATF that you’ve done your homework. Local business licenses shouldn’t be a problem, but there is always the chance that local offices could try and hold you up.
